Cheryl Jercic
Developmental Educator
I’m a Developmental Educator with extensive experience in disability support and education. My background of teaching and developmental education allows me to create inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.
At Authentic Inclusion, we believe diversity is a strength that enriches our communities. We work alongside individuals to foster true belonging, independence, and connection.
I collaborate with individuals, families, schools, universities, and workplaces to tailor programs that support inclusion at every stage of life. Together, we create spaces where everyone feels valued and empowered.
